The Jockey (Le Jockey)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1899

This is a print showing two horses being ridden. The horses and riders have their backs to us. Two jockeys lean forward on their horses, both wearing tan pants. The one on the right has a light peach shirt and orange hair or an orange helmet, while the other has a white shirt with black hair or a black helmet. Both horses are a rich reddish-brown color, and their heads are extended forward with their hooves off the ground. The ground below them is pale green, and in the distance brown hills are visible, with a small windmill visible on the right. The sky above is light gray, with a few flags fluttering in the distance.
